There are no bookmarks in the PDF of this product, so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Ok maybe bookmarks wasn't correct term sorry that was my mistake. But there is navigation options to different sections. I've noticed the top level ones don't navigate correctly. So if I tap or click on chapter one it doesn't take me to chapter one but if I expand it to show sub areas under chapter one I can go to those. If that makes more sense.

Btw wonderful product about to run my second session. We had a blast.

Glad to hear it!

And I was mistaken - there ARE bookmarks. They just weren't visible in the reader I was using.

I see the problem -- I'll repair the bookmarks and re-upload the file.

One thing I have noticed about Amazon merchants is that they often will sale books for inflated prices when they are still available from POD or publishers for much less.
Price gouging for those who think a book is unavailable or are to lazy to look around the interweb.

Everything in this book is absolutely perfect for portraying the pulps as most people know them, though there is ONE small problem. The prices for items are absurdly low. I like to think that Savage Worlds (like most other generic systems with g [...]

I didn't review this book back when I purchased it when it first appeared - both the D20 version and this SW version?? Shame on me! I know I did contact the author-designer, because this is (I need large fonts for this.) MUCH BETTER THAN THE D2 [...]

Thrilling Tales is the quintessential “Savage Pulp” book. Whether you’re a pulp vet or new to the genre this book has it all. The first chapter provides background on what pulp was and the genres it encompassed. This is followed by a timeline [...]

I never was a huge Fan of Pulp RPG but this converted me! Great inspiring book. I especially love the Adventure generator which really does inspire and delivers weird, exciting, pulpy adventures and the NPCs for it too. Great overall job! [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
